The Milky Way rising with Jupiter

This photograph shows the Milky Way rising, and Jupiter just below it also rising.
This image is the results of a few quick snaps at the end of the night while I was packing up. So while I was taking these I was pulling the telescope down, so no autoguiding etc. and I'm surprised my torch light didn't show up at all. Quite a nice result!
